I made this Alphabet Vegetable Soup last night because it's always a family favorite and it's been so cold outside..
I love that it's loaded with veggies, perfect for meatless Mondays and a great way to use up any leftover veggies in the fridge.
The kids love to play with the letters and seem to forget just how much vegetables they're consuming.
We spent the better half of dinner playing with our food and building words.
After all we are big kids at heart!
This post is missing my usual step by step photos.
Please someone tell me I'm not alone in this!
I was lucky enough Colt snapped a picture of the green beans so we aren't totally picture-less.
We used fresh green beans and cut then into bite size pieces but frozen would work well too.
Add olive oil to a large soup pot and add onion. Sauté until onion turns light brown and starts to caramelize. Add garlic and stir until garlic is softened.
Add stock, celery, carrots, potato, canned tomatoes, green beans, peas, corn, granulated garlic, Italian seasoning, rosemary, salt, water and alphabet pasta.
Stir until well combined. Bring to a simmer reduce heat to low, cover pot and cook for 20 minutes or until carrots, potatoes and pasta are tender.
Who can resist a hearty bowl of veggies filled with tons of letters to bring back fun memories of childhood.
Young and old alike will absolutely love Alphabet Soup!
The kids scarfed this down and I was lucky to have leftovers for lunch.
Oh, and I almost forgot this soup is low calorie with only 213 calories for a generous serving!
Perfect for any New Years resolutions to eat a little bit healthier.

Yum, my lil guys loves alphabet soup too! Love how much veggies are in here and a big bowl of this hot soup sounds perfect to warm up with since it's been really cold here lately too. Hope you have a great week and stay warm :)
ReplyDeleteThis soup definitely sounds yummy right now, especially with this ridiculously cold weather we are experiencing. Fantastic recipe :)

It's such great soup weather. I made a huge pot today too. I love that you make mealtime fun and healthy at the same time Serena. That napkin is so pretty, I'm such a sucker for table dressings!
ReplyDeleteI just made this for my sick 6 year old and she loved it. Thanks for a great recipe
ReplyDeleteGirl, you had me with that 'yummy' shot! No wonder your kids don't realize they are eating their veggies. This soup looks divine! Homemade soup is the best soup and I love all the colors. Just what we need for a cozy winter warm up! Thanks for sharing! xo
ReplyDeleteThis soup looks fantastic, can't wait to make it.
ReplyDeleteHi! Can any leftovers be frozen? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteYes the leftovers should freeze well! Thanks, Serena
DeleteWhen it says to use 1 tsp. rosemary, do you mean fresh or dried? Thanks very much! :)
ReplyDeleteSorry, I didnt mark it. I used fresh but dried is fine also if you dont have fresh available. Thanks, Serena
DeleteBest soup I have ever had! Definetly a family favourite;)
ReplyDeleteHi! In the description you said to add stock but it's not listed in the ingredients, how many cups should we use? Thanks!!!
ReplyDeleteHi! I'm sorry about that. It's 6 cups Chicken or Vegetable Stock. It must have dropped when I switched to a printable recipe. Thanks, Serena
DeleteThis is so very good. I made this last night and we had just barely enough leftover for 2 bowls. I made this in my electric pressure cooker and just waited until after the pressure was released to add the pasta. I didn't want the pasta to dissolve or get really mushy by having it in for the entire time the soup was cooking. I'm going to play a little with this recipe and try out vegetable broth next time (used chicken this time) and try adding in some fresh garden veggies (squash, zucchini, etc) in the summer. Thanks for the recipe!
